Ok, as far as i know hw mixing on the card is only the first step. First of all you should check, if your soundcard supports hw mixing for the playback direction. use 2 instances of aplay at the same time. aplay needs a .wav file, but you can use mpg123 to create one from an mp3 or just pipe the output of mpg123 to aplay... If playback hw mixing works you face the next problem: The capture direction is almost never shareable. So when q3 opens /dev/dsp it probably opens it full duplex though this is not needed. It might also be that the alsa OSS emu grabs the device full duplex regardless of if the app really needs it. So, q3 runs and has opened the device in full duplex. With playback hw mixing you should be able to plyback a sound with aplay during the game is running. But you cannot record, since q3 and/or ALSA's OSS emu have grabbed the capture direction, too. So basically what i would suggest is to tell ALSA's OSS emu to not occupy the capture direction.. This goes something like echo quake3.x86 0 0 disable > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss [note the 'c' in 'pcm0c']. This is from memory. You should read up on the official docs and check for the right executable name [quake3.x86, q3.x86 ???].. After this is done and q3 should only open the playback direction of the alsa device you should be able to start teamspeak in parallel..
